I Application led February 20, 1905. Serial No. 246.390`

[o a/ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, GILES F. COLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lansing, in the county of Ingham and State of Michigan, have invented a |new and useful Improvement in Heat-Resisting Fabrics, of which the followin is a specification.

My invention re ates to heat-resisting fabries; and the pur ose of the invention is to make a fabric which shall be soft and pliable inits texture, not likely to scratch or injure any varnished surface upon which it maybe laid, chea in construction, and durableV and effective or the purpose for which it is intended.

The figure shows a piece of my fabric having the three layers separated at one end to show the construction. i

A and C are layers of some textile fabric,

referably canton-flannel or some similar abric having soft and fleecy exterior surfaces.

B is a layer of asbestos fabric softened and made pliable and cemented between the two la ers A and C, so as to form one compound fa ric which is nearly as pliable "as if it were formed entirely of cloth, the soft and fleecy character of the outside layers, combined with the heat-resisting ualities of the asbes# tos center, making the fa ric extremely effective when used as a table-covering or m otherv laces where it is desired to exclude heat. Y

y oreover, its composition is such that it can be made up and sold in large bolts or rolls,

like ordinary cloth, and can be cut and sewed or fashioned in any shape or manner in which ordinary cloth can be employed.

I am aware that asbestos has been often used in combination with other substances as a heat-resisting medium; so I do not broadly claim this.

What I do claim as a new article of manufacture is- 1. yA com ound fabric composed of a softened flexibllflI sheet of asbestos fiber cemented between two layers of textile fabric having a leecy exterior surface.

2. A com ound fabric composed of a softened lexib e sheet of asbestos fiber cemented between two layers of textile fabric having leecy surfaces.

3. A compound heat-resisting fabric composed of a softened flexible sheet of asbestos fiber cemented between two layers of cantonlannel, the fleecy side of said flannel being out.

4. A compound heat-resisting fabric composed of a softened flexible sheet of asbestos fiber cemented between two layers of twofaced canton-flannel.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
